This transit was viewed from North America on 5th June 2012. The planet Venus is seen as a small disc silhouetted against the Sun. Venus is a little smaller than the Earth, and was some 41 million kilometres from Earth at the time. Venus transits are among the rarest of predictable astronomical events, occurring in pairs separated by eight years, separated by over a century. The next transit will occur on 10th December 2117.https://www.sciencephoto.com/image/640080/350wm/K0046079-Transit_of_Venus_through_clouds-SPL.jpghttps://www.sciencephoto.com/image/640080/preview/K0046079-Transit_of_Venus_through_clouds-SPL.mp426.012015-01-24Yes201221st centuryalignmentastronomicalastronomyastrophysicalastrophysicsbodiesbodycloudcloudsdiscdiskdoteclipseeventfacehistoricalhistorymechanicsnewsorbitalorbitingplanetplanetary orbitsplanetsraresilhouettesilhouettedskysolar phenomenasolar systemhttps://www.sciencephoto.com/media/640103/view/bulrushes-after-an-ice-storm2018-03-28T09:38:32Z0.9K004/6015 Bulrushes after an ice stormK004/6015 Bulrushes encased in ice following a rare winter ice storm in Toronto, Canada.

This causes the rain to freeze on contact with anything it lands on, completely covering structures in ice. The weight of the ice can cause a huge amount of damage, felling trees and power lines, and they have been known to paralyze entire cities.https://www.sciencephoto.com/image/640103/350wm/K0046015-Bulrushes_after_an_ice_storm-SPL.jpghttps://www.sciencephoto.com/image/640103/preview/K0046015-Bulrushes_after_an_ice_storm-SPL.mp411.282015-01-27Yesbulrushcanadacanadiancat tailcat tailscattailcattailscolddamagingencasedforestfreezingfreezing rainfrozengrassgrassesgreat lakesiceice coveredice stormice-coveredicylakemeteorologicalmeteorologynaturalnaturenorth americaontarioreedmacereedssevere weatherhttps://www.sciencephoto.com/media/640116/view/amur-leopard-in-snow2018-11-06T15:35:54Z0.9K004/6149 Amur leopard in snowK004/6149 Young Amur leopard (Panthera pardus orientalis) lying in snow, grooming itself.

Over millions of years the lake dried up, the area was uplifted due to the forces of plate tectonics, and the rock was sculpted by wind and water. The vibrant colors are caused by impurities in the stone, including iron oxide. Some of the rock formations are called hoodoos which are columns that typically consist of relatively soft rock capped by harder less easily eroded stone that protects the spire beneath it. Hoodoos that form a thin wall are called fins. The amphitheatre is five kilometres wide with a depth of about 700 meters. It is part of the Grand Staircase, an immense sequence of exposed sedimentary rock layers that stretch two hundred kilometres in the American Southwest and feature some of the most dramatic scenery anywhere in the world.https://www.sciencephoto.com/image/641580/350wm/K0045981-Cedar_Breaks_National_Monument-SPL.jpghttps://www.sciencephoto.com/image/641580/preview/K0045981-Cedar_Breaks_National_Monument-SPL.mp412.192015-01-31Yesamericanamerican southwestbuttecedar breakscolumnerosiongeologygrand staircasehoodoolandscape clifflimestonenational parknorth americapinnacleredred rockrockrock formationsandstonesedimentarysouthwestspiretowerunited statesusautahhttps://www.sciencephoto.com/media/641581/view/cedar-breaks-national-monument2018-03-28T09:38:32Z0.9K004/5982 Cedar Breaks National MonumentK004/5982 The Cedar Breaks amphitheatre in Utah is the remains of uplifted layers of sedimentary limestone and sandstone that once formed the bottom of an ancient lake.

Sunspots appear dark because they are cooler than the surrounding surface due to strong magnetic fields that cause bottlenecks that prevent the Sun's core heat from reaching the surface. The average sunspot is about 4,500 degrees C while the surrounding area is about 6,000 degrees C. Sunspots can last for weeks or more and can reach 80,000 km across which is equivalent to six planet Earths. The darkest area of the large sunspot featured here is about 15,000 km across which is large enough to swallow the Earth. The sunspots are surrounded by smaller convections cells called granules which are roughly 1,500 km in diameter.https://www.sciencephoto.com/image/641692/350wm/K0046095-Sunspot_activity_with_Earth_overlay-SPL.jpghttps://www.sciencephoto.com/image/641692/preview/K0046095-Sunspot_activity_with_Earth_overlay-SPL.mp415.222015-01-31Yesamericanconvection celldevelopmentearthgranulationpenumbraphotospherescalesilhouettesizesolar activitysolar dynamicssolar granulesolar stormssolar surfacesolar systemspacesped upspeeded upspotspotsstellarsunsunspottimelapseumbrahttps://www.sciencephoto.com/media/641693/view/sunspot-activity2018-11-06T15:34:52Z0.9K004/6096 Sunspot activityK004/6096 Time-lapse sequence spanning several days showing sunspot activity photographed from the Swedish Solar Telescope on La Palma in the Canary Islands.

Sunspots can last for weeks or more and can reach 80,000 km across which is equivalent to six planet Earths. The darkest area of the large sunspot featured here is about 15,000 km across which is large enough to swallow the Earth. The sunspots are surrounded by smaller convections cells called granules which are roughly 1,500 km in diameter.https://www.sciencephoto.com/image/641693/350wm/K0046096-Sunspot_activity-SPL.jpghttps://www.sciencephoto.com/image/641693/preview/K0046096-Sunspot_activity-SPL.mp415.242015-01-31Yesamericanconvection celldevelopmentgranulationgranulespenumbraphotospheresolar activitysolar dynamicssolar granulesolar stormssolar surfacesolar systemspacesped upspeeded upspotstellarsunsunspottimelapseumbrahttps://www.sciencephoto.com/media/641694/view/ironstone-concretions-in-utah2018-03-28T09:38:32Z0.9K004/6097 Ironstone concretions in UtahK004/6097 Small, spherical ironstone concretions called Moqui marbles are seen forming in this close up a Navajo sandstone formation in Snow Canyon State Park, Utah, USA.

Initially, a blob of grease (brown) is attached to the surface. Water is added, but the polar molecules of water do not interact with the non-polar grease. When molecules of a stearate soap are added, however, they do interact. The stearate molecules have a polar head (red) and a long non-polar hydrophobic tail. The non-polar tails (green) embed in the grease, with the polar head of the molecule remaining outside in the water. As more detergent interacts, the grease is lifted from the surface, forming a spherical micelle suspended in the water. The polar heads sticking out of the micelle interact with the polar water molecules, allowing the grease blob to be washed away, leaving a clean surface.https://www.sciencephoto.com/image/641979/350wm/K0045878-How_a_soap_works-SPL.jpghttps://www.sciencephoto.com/image/641979/preview/K0045878-How_a_soap_works-SPL.mp470.012015-02-04Yesanimatedanimationanionicblobchemicalschemistrycleancleaningdetergentdetergentsdirtydissolvingfattyformationgreasegreasyhydrophobicinsolubleioniclipophilicliquidliquidsmicellemicellesmolecularmoleculesnon-polarpolarpotassium stearatesciencesoapsoapyhttps://www.sciencephoto.com/media/642122/view/global-internet-traffic2018-11-06T15:35:27Z0.9K004/5587 Global internet trafficK004/5587 Conceptual animation showing internet traffic travelling between continents.

Sequence of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) axial scans showing the internal structure in the head of a 53-year-old woman with a para-falcine (parasagittal) meningioma. The front of the head is at top in this view from below, and the sequence moves through the head from bottom to top. A meningioma is a tumour that arises from the meninges, the membranes that enclose the brain. This one has arisen in the region of the falx cerebri (cerebral falx), the arched fold of dura mater found in the longitudinal fissure between the cerebral hemispheres. The tumour is the white mass at centre that appears briefly just after the middle of the clip, just above the level of the eyes. It is indenting the corpus callosum, the bundle of nerve fibres in the same region that connects the two hemispheres of the brain. The tumour, which is also distorting the lateral ventricles, was discovered following persistent headaches.https://www.sciencephoto.com/image/643318/350wm/K0046500-Brain_membrane_tumour,_MRI_sequence-SPL.jpghttps://www.sciencephoto.com/image/643318/preview/K0046500-Brain_membrane_tumour,_MRI_sequence-SPL.mp416.112015-02-13Yes50s53 years old53-year-oldabnormaladultaxialbrainbrain membranecancercancerouscerebralcerebral falxcerebral hemispherescorpus callosumdeepdeep-seateddiagnosisdiagnosticdiagnosticsdura materfalcinefalx cerebrifemalefiftiesheadheadacheheadacheshemispherical fissurelateral ventricleslongitudinal fissuremagnetic resonance imagingmalignancyhttps://www.sciencephoto.com/media/643319/view/brain-membrane-tumour-mri-sequence2018-03-28T09:38:32Z0.9K004/6501 Brain membrane tumour, MRI sequenceK004/6501 Brain membrane tumour.

Sequence of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) axial (horizontal) scans showing the internal structure of the head of a patient with a glioblastoma multiforme (GMB). GMBs are malignant (cancerous) tumours of the glial cells of the central nervous system. In this case, the tumour is located posteriorly in the patient's left frontal lobe.

The barrel opens to reveal the molecules making up the oil within. Crude oil is a mixture of a huge number of different hydrocarbons, which can be divided into four main categories. Alkanes make up around 30% of a typical crude oil, by weight. These are saturated (no double bonds) hydrocarbons that may be linear or branched, and contain around 6-20 carbon atoms. Naphthenes make up roughly half the oil. These are cyclic alkanes, similar in size to the alkane components, but with one or more carbon rings. Aromatics make up some 15%, being molecules with aromatic rings, those with delocalised electrons, such as benzene and naphthalene. Finally, 5% of the mass is made up of much larger, more complex molecules called asphaltenes. These take many forms but may contain several linked rings, side chains and some hetero atoms, such as sulfur (yellow) and nitrogen (blue). Crude oil is extracted from the ground and the components separated out for various uses, including fuels, plastic manufacture and the chemical industry.https://www.sciencephoto.com/image/644134/350wm/K0046912-Composition_of_crude_oil-SPL.jpghttps://www.sciencephoto.com/image/644134/preview/K0046912-Composition_of_crude_oil-SPL.mp470.012015-02-18Yesalkanealkanesaromaticaromaticsasphalteneasphaltenesasphalticbarrelcarbonchemicalchemistrycomponentscompositioncrude oilcycliccycloalkanecycloalkaneseducationeducationalfossilfractionfuelfuelshydrocarbonhydrocarbonsindustrialindustrymassmixturemolecularmoleculemoleculeshttps://www.sciencephoto.com/media/644484/view/ice-volcanoes-on-triton2018-11-06T15:37:47Z0.9K004/6911 Ice volcanoes on TritonK004/6911 Animation of cryovolcanism of Triton, the largest moon of Neptune. These icy geysers were observed by the Voyager 2 spacecraft. It is thought that solar heating vaporised nitrogen below a translucent surface, until the pressure built up enough to force an eruption. The gas picked up dust and other material, making the plumes visible. They reached a height of some eight kilometres, Triton is an unusual moon in that it orbits Neptune in the opposite direction to the planet's rotation. This indicates that it is a captured Kuiper Belt Object like the dwarf planet Pluto. Triton is larger than Pluto, and has a very similar composition.https://www.sciencephoto.com/image/644484/350wm/K0046911-Ice_volcanoes_on_Triton-SPL.jpghttps://www.sciencephoto.com/image/644484/preview/K0046911-Ice_volcanoes_on_Triton-SPL.mp423.242015-02-20Yesactiveactivityanimatedanimationastronomicalastronomycapturedcloudcloudscoldcryovolcanismcryovolcanocryovulcanismdustdustyfly-byfreezinggas giantgeologicalgeologygeysergeysersheatingice gianticyjetjetskbokuiper belt objectmoonneptunenitrogenhttps://www.sciencephoto.com/media/644718/view/limpet-radula-microscope-view2018-03-28T09:38:32Z0.9K004/7130 Limpet radula, microscope viewK004/7130 Light microscope view of a zoom into the individual teeth on the radula of a European limpet (Patella vulgata), a type of sea snail. In 2015, it was announced that the teeth of a limpet are made of the strongest biomaterial ever found. The teeth are made up of a protein matrix reinforced with fibres of the mineral goethite, an iron oxyhydroxide. The tensile strength of the teeth was found to be 4.9 gigapascals (GPa), surpassing the 4GPa strength of spider silk. The limpet inhabits the intertidal zone, and uses its toothed radula to scrape algae from the rocks.

It has a thick, dense atmosphere of carbon dioxide, with clouds of sulfur dioxide. The pressure at the surface is nearly 100 times the atmospheric pressure on Earth. The dense, cloudy atmosphere also reflects and absorbs most of the sunlight, making the surface much darker than Earth's. Lightning was conclusively detected by the Venus Express spacecraft in 2006-7.https://www.sciencephoto.com/image/644972/350wm/K0046876-Lightning_on_Venus-SPL.jpghttps://www.sciencephoto.com/image/644972/preview/K0046876-Lightning_on_Venus-SPL.mp419.222015-02-21Yesalienanimatedanimationatmosphereatmosphericbarrenboltboltscloudcloudydesertdustdustyflashgroundhillhillshotlightningmountainplanetrockrockysciencesolar systemspacestormstrikestrikessurfacethunderstormvalleyhttps://www.sciencephoto.com/media/644973/view/data-stream2018-11-06T15:37:51Z0.9K004/7101 Data streamK004/7101 Conceptual animation of the flow of an electronic data stream.https://www.sciencephoto.com/image/644973/350wm/K0047101-Data_stream-SPL.jpghttps://www.sciencephoto.com/image/644973/preview/K0047101-Data_stream-SPL.mp421.232015-02-21Yesanimatedanimationbitscommunicatingcommunicationcommunicationscomputercomputersconceptsconceptualdataelectronicfastflowflowingfly-byglobalgraphicsinformationinternetitnumbersstreamstreamingtechnologicaltechnologytransferwebwwwzoomhttps://www.sciencephoto.com/media/644974/view/data-stream2018-11-06T15:36:40Z0.9K004/7102 Data streamK004/7102 Conceptual animation of the flow of an electronic data stream.https://www.sciencephoto.com/image/644974/350wm/K0047102-Data_stream-SPL.jpghttps://www.sciencephoto.com/image/644974/preview/K0047102-Data_stream-SPL.mp421.232015-02-21Yesanimatedanimationbitscommunicatingcommunicationcommunicationscomputercomputersconceptsconceptualdataelectronicfastflowflowingfly-byglobalgraphicsinformationinternetitnumbersstreamstreamingtechnologicaltechnologytransferwebwwwzoomhttps://www.sciencephoto.com/media/644975/view/brain-connections2018-11-06T15:35:31Z0.9K004/7103 Brain connectionsK004/7103 Animation representing neural connections in the human brain.https://www.sciencephoto.com/image/644975/350wm/K0047103-Brain_connections-SPL.jpghttps://www.sciencephoto.com/image/644975/preview/K0047103-Brain_connections-SPL.mp4102015-02-21Yesactiveactivityanatomicalanatomyanimatedanimationbiologicalbiologybraincentral nervous systemcerebralcerebrumcnsconceptsconceptualconnectedconnectionconnectionsconnexionconnexionsconsciousnesshumanintelligenceloopablemeshmindmodelnervesnetnetworkneuralneuronhttps://www.sciencephoto.com/media/644976/view/brain-mri-scans2018-11-06T15:35:24Z0.9K004/7104 Brain, MRI scansK004/7104 Animation of a series of coloured magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of a patient's head.

Despite its name, a slime mould is not a fungus, instead being an amoeba-like protozoan. After its feeding phase, it develops these tall fungus-like sporangia, which bear its reproductive spores. These are released as the sporangia dry out, and are dispersed by wind and insects. The spores can remain dormant for years, germinating when conditions are right and forming new single-celled amoeba. These feed on bacteria, but when food is scarce the individual cells join together, forming a multinucleate body called a plasmodium. This moves around hunting bacteria and other microorganisms. See clip K004 7123-6 for the slime mould moving around as a plasmodium.https://www.sciencephoto.com/image/644977/350wm/K0047122-Slime_mould_forming_spores,_timelapse-SPL.jpghttps://www.sciencephoto.com/image/644977/preview/K0047122-Slime_mould_forming_spores,_timelapse-SPL.mp436.242015-02-21Yesactiveamebaamoebaamoeboidaustraliaaustralianbarkbiologicalbiologybizarrebotanicalbotanybranchingclose-upcytoplasmcytoplasmicdetaildevelopingfloraforest floorforminghuntinginsectinsectsleaf littermacromacroscopicmoistmotilemotilitymotionmovinghttps://www.sciencephoto.com/media/644978/view/slime-mould-moving-timelapse2018-03-28T09:38:32Z0.9K004/7123 Slime mould moving, timelapseK004/7123 Timelapse footage of a slime mould moving across moist bark. Despite its name, a slime mould is not a fungus, instead being an amoeba-like protozoan. When food is abundant it exists as single cells like other amoebae, but when food is scarce the cells aggregate and form a large macroscopic body called a plasmodium, which contains many nuclei. This plasmodium is active, following chemical cues to find the bacteria and other micro-organisms on which it feeds. When it has exhausted its food supply it forms its reproductive stage, hardening into spore-bearing sporangia, which resemble fungi or moulds. The spores are dispersed by wind or insects, and can remain dormant for many years before developing into new single-celled amoeba.
